In the world today the rubbish is piling up. In Britain
Paper
Nearly a third of all our household rubbish is paper. And this paper that is thrown away is surprisingly difficult to break down; even in a warm damp environment it can take three months. In a dry environment the breakdown process of paper will take much longer. Newspapers thrown away in landfill sites can take years to break down. Recycling paper is becoming more popular, but as imported paper can be cheaper, the market for recycled paper may be limited. Meanwhile the world's forests are being reduced at the rate of a football pitch per second, since about 180 trees are needed for 1 ton of paper.
Metals
Some metals, such as tin, may eventually rust away, but this is a long process taking up to
ten years or more. Drinks cans are made of aluminum which will never rust or decay. Every year 135,000 tons of drinks cans are thrown away in England
Food Waste
Food remains can normally be broken down quite quickly. However, the environmental conditions have to be favorable for this breakdown. For instance, a lump of sugar would disappear quickly in most environments, but in the Arctic it would take considerably longer. Perhaps the best way of recycling food waste is to form a compost heap with it, allowing the remains to decompose and later using it as a natural fertilizer for the garden.
Plastics
Plastics are popular as they last a long time. This fact alone makes them difficult to break down. Hundreds of millions of tons of many different types of plastics are produced worldwide each year. Even though new types of recyclable plastic are being produced, plastic cannot break down completely. However, advancements are being made into recycling plastics to be used for building materials and the like.
Glass
Glass does not break down. Indeed archaeologists have found glass dating back to 2000 BC. The only way to get rid of glass is to recycle it. Making glass from sand uses little more energy than recycling does.

According to my opinion, recycling means the substances that you used before and when you recyle it, you can use it again and again. I mean, recycling changes used materials into new products. It is very important to recycle the wastes, products because it reduces air and waten pollution and also energy. If we want to see clean environment and if we want to leave a good life conditions to our children, we got to do these things. Unless this precautions are taken.. even worse to think. But we can do it.
ReplyDeleteRecycling is most important about papers,metals etc.If humans are recycling these materials we are generate paper metal and glass so much.
ReplyDeleteRecycling is the process of making new products from a used product. Items that are made from materials such as aluminum, plastic water bottles, paper can be recycled

ReplyDeleteRecycling is important to save our planet.Everyone can recycling if they use the recycle bins.They can recycle used things like plastic,bottles,paper.By this way they can make the used things useful again.Damaging the nature is unnecessary and it may cause the global warming.
